YAY! The gun's back! DAMN! There's always a catch with these things! Great ending to a wonderful string of sequentially artistic paneltude! Looking forward to what you have in store for us in Chapter 3...

Thx, Joe. As for Chap.3, well, let me ask you, how far would you go to stop the future?

I'd go two trains to the corner of 2nd Ave and 10th Street! At least that's where I go to look into the future.

Actually, the Berzerk Gun is made from neurons, so it's quite light.

Exactly what I thought. "Hey, we can settle this right now--"

The "realm of conviction," huh? That's a dangerous place to visit, I hear...I think GWB might be a denizen...
As soon as Billy makes his fateful choice, I insist he turn the dial to "swap" -- I wanna see what that one does.

Gah. I never thought of conviction in context of GWB. Gee, that explains TOMMY ROCKET in a nutshell.

Very cool. If I were him though, I'd ask the guy to reconsider his design. Serious oversight having a kill switch in a gun that isn't supposed to be used for that.

Unfortunately for Billy, that gun was his father's old weapon of mass destruction which still houses death. What the Blacksmith did was give Billy a way to rid the guns fatal power if he so chooses.

I think Berserk is a very Dean word. I'm gonna start using that as an expletive from now on.

This blacksmith guy tends a little bit to a evil character I collect. He reminds me at old German fairytales. Great move here!

Cool evocation. The Blacksmith is kinda like the underground cousin of Marvel's The Watcher who vows to never interfere but always does.

Great chapter. I love the almost animation-still quality of some of the scenes.

Some nice abstract color textures in the backgrounds, especially this last panel.
Even after all this time, you still manage to impress me with your perfect panel composition.

Thx, Cav.
Now, if only I colored these in print quality instead of 72dpi.

I just discovered this. It's... amazing. Sometimes it's like a parody, and sometimes it's like an epic, and it's always precisely the right amount of each for that particular moment.
Forget Avengers. Make THIS into a movie. And get Tom Waits to write the score.

fwiw i came across your work via your interview on the wordballoon podcast. It's gorgeous to look at, but your dialogue is fascinating too.

Thx. Glad to know the interweb is working its cross polination mojo.
Check out the rest of ACT-I-VATE's comix, too, please.

Haw. I had one spot left and I thought "wet" could be a conversation starter.
Future close-ups of the Berzerk Gun dial will reveal different settings. Another perk of the gun that shoots everything BUT bullets.
